Electric cars eligible for £3,750 discount announced

Government announces first electric cars eligible for £3,750 discount scheme Under the government's grant scheme, the Department for Transport has announced that Ford's Puma Gen-E and e-Tourneo Courier are the first electric car models eligible for a £3,750 discount. The discount aims to encourage the transition from petrol and diesel vehicles, with plans to approve more environmentally friendly models for similar discounts. This initiative is part of the government's push to ban new petrol or diesel car sales by 2030, with grants helping to lower the upfront costs of electric vehicles and increase their affordability.
